Chapter 415 [The capital market directly scared the pee]

Quantum Jump headquarters, CEO office.

Several co-founders including Fang Hong and Xu Jingren are here, Lou Gaoyuan is also here now, and the six co-founders are all gathered together.

"Maker Square should be a platform that mainly provides office space leasing services for freelancers, start-ups, and small and micro enterprises..." Fang Hong looked at Xu Jingren and the others and said, at the moment he is making further progress on the specific operation of the three projects The deconstruction starts from Maker Square.

Fang Hong continued: "The Maker Square itself cannot own real estate, but after grouping the entire floor or several floors or even the entire office building office space at a discounted price, it is divided into many small independent office spaces, and then rented out to others. Enterprises and individuals, and make profits through rental fees or membership fees."

At this time, Xu Jingren immediately said: "The haze of the global financial tsunami has not yet dissipated. Under the background of the sluggish economic environment, will this business be sustainable? It is difficult to form a fission of scale effect if no one enters ..."

Fang Hong immediately said: "On the contrary, the economic downturn will make many businesses that have suffered setbacks or companies that have just started their businesses attractive to the Maker Square, because entering the Maker Square can reduce their business operations without affecting their business operations. Operating costs, when the economic boom is high, and when the financing environment is good, it attracts and will fall.”

After a moment's pause, Fang Hong added: "Besides, the country is currently regulating the property market. It means that Wan Tiao's current stock price has fallen from close to 15 yuan to a little over 7 yuan now, which has already been cut in half. Chuangkefang or Youkefang are both good opportunities to collect housing resources, which can reduce a lot of costs.”

Hearing what the boss said, Xu Jingren also felt that it made sense, but the boss wanted to go deeper.

Indeed, when the economy is in a downturn, many companies will shrink their expenditures to save costs. When they cannot achieve open source, they must cut down on expenditure. Makerfang is indeed more attractive when the economy is not high. This logic is possible. established.

Fang Hong looked at Sun Xin, who was in charge of the Maker Square, and said: "It is very important to improve the service quality of products. The Maker Square should pay attention to environmental protection. There must be services such as free coffee supply, and there must be a public open space for tenants to communicate with each other. Being able to interact and communicate, especially the public open space, is key, and it is very important for the future development of the Maker Square.”

Sun Xin couldn't help but nodded.

Fang Hong continued: "Therefore, the office space of each maker workshop must be planned in advance with a reception desk, coffee room, meeting room and even a tea room that can provide beer."

After a while, Yuan Jie made a calculation in his mind and said: "In this way, the operating cost of Maker Square will definitely increase significantly, but the profit must be passed on to the tenants in the end. Judging from the rent of the desk, it seems that it is not much cheaper than the office space in the same area."

Hearing this, Fang Hong immediately said: "But considering that as a startup company and entrepreneur, you don't have to pay for security, front desk, broadband, printing and other related miscellaneous expenses, and at the same time you will be more worry-free, you only need to focus on the company's business and What about developing?"

Xu Jingren, who was sitting on the side, also said: "Indeed, from this point of view, Maker Square is still very attractive. If nothing else, let's talk about our own company Quantum Beat. The front desk, broadband, printing, security and other equipment are very attractive." Or labor costs have to be paid by themselves, and the accounts can be calculated.”

If QuantumDance had a sharing economy platform like Chuangkefang at the beginning of its establishment, it would definitely choose to settle in, and it would be another matter to move out after it develops.

Fang Hong said in an orderly manner: "For the positioning of the customer group of MakerFang, we mainly focus on start-up companies related to the Internet, media, and creative industries. This industry is active and asset-light. To them, MakerFang is the most attractive. .”

Then Fang Hong added: "With the gradual operation of the Maker Square, we must take the initiative to take the lead in holding gatherings for the customer members who are stationed there, and actively create opportunities for everyone to communicate and exchange, so that companies in different industries or fields can communicate with each other. To be able to learn from development experience, to put it bluntly, is bragging, and even in the process of bragging, you may not be able to become a business partner.”

Speaking of this, Fang Hong could not help but smile, looked around the crowd and said: "Maker Square needs such a good atmosphere, and at the same time, under this atmosphere, it will also have an obvious label of creative industry economy, which will bring another benefit. That’s the city where the makerspaces are located, and the city government sees that these kinds of businesses are good for the local economy, so they get a lot of support from the local municipality.”

Everyone couldn't help but nodded, because the Maker Square will attract many business owners to gather. To a certain extent, the platform of the Maker Square can be regarded as a hotbed for the incubation of many start-up companies. Of course, the city government stationed in the city is happy to see it and wish for it.

Next, Fang Hong further deconstructed the operation ideas of Ukefang, an online car-hailing trip to Kyushu and a homestay-sharing company.

The connotations of the business models of these three projects are basically the same, and the ideas are generally not too different, and there is nothing to talk about. The difference between the same models is the different application scenarios.

To put it bluntly, Chuangkefang is a joint office rental company that does not own any office real estate; Youkefang is an accommodation service provider that does not own any apartment real estate; Kyushuhang is a taxi company that does not own any taxis.

At the end, Fang Hong looked around the crowd and said: "The sharing economy will inevitably become an important trend representing the future global economic development. Of course, there will definitely be sharing economy platforms with other application scenarios in the future, but in the field of sharing economy, we focus on these three. Just one aspect is enough, and if there are other opportunities, leave them to others.”

In fact, the real situation is that Fang Hong knew that he had grasped these three projects, and he almost got the big part of the sharing economy cake. Other opportunities are considered leftovers, not to mention the limited income. Trouble is thankless.

As for the rental business under the banner of "sharing" such as shared bicycles and charging treasures, it cannot be called a platform at all, nor is it a real sharing economy, because they are all provided by a single merchant directly to consumers. The merchant itself is the owner of the item, and there is no process of matching transactions.

After Fang Hong explained the matters of these three new businesses, he left Quantum Beat. Wang Ping and Xu Jingren will take care of the rest.

They are also very fast.

That night, the Weibo subsidiary released a big announcement.

According to the content of the announcement, upon the resolution of the interim board of directors of the parent company Quantum Beat, the co-founders Wang Ping, Sun Xin, and Yuan Jie resigned from all positions in the Weibo subsidiary, and Lou Gaoyuan also resigned. The announcement did not disclose more details. For many reasons, I mentioned that the parent company has other arrangements for them.

When Wang Ping and the others resigned, they wanted to lead a separate project and take charge of their own. Lou Gaoyuan, who was resigned by Fang Hong using the reputation system to improve his research and development capabilities, was assigned to the WeChat project.

The WeChat project that will be launched soon is the top priority of Quantum Beat.

However, as soon as this announcement was released, the capital market was shocked. It should be said that investors holding Weibo stocks were scared, as if it was a horror story.

In the eyes of the outside world, the soul of Quantum Beat is the Weibo subsidiary. 99% of Quantum Beat’s assets are reflected in the Weibo subsidiary. As a result, an announcement was released and the four co-founders resigned collectively.

This is too scary, has something major changed?

After changing its name from "Dasheng Shares" to "Weibo" on August 20, the stock price peaked at 147.10 yuan on the third trading day, then fell sharply, and then rebounded. The stock price fell sharply for a month and began to fall unilaterally.

Throughout September, the trend of Weibo has dropped four times. Today, the stock price hit a new low again on Tuesday, falling -3.38%. The closing price was 80.96 yuan per share. The market value shrank to 42.8 billion, and the cumulative decline has reached nearly 45. A percentage point can basically be regarded as a cut in half.

The trading volume of Weibo today has also shrunk to 1.193 billion. You must know that this stock has a daily turnover of more than 7.4 billion on the day when the stock price peaked at 147.10 yuan.

The announcement was interpreted by the market as a major bad news, a sudden thunderstorm, and some people even interpreted it as the collective resignation of the founders. Weibo and even Quantum Beat will soon fall into chaos.

Investors who hold the stock are trembling, and they dare not watch tomorrow's opening.
